The Moon & the Crow.

“The Moon and the Crow”, Photograph by Gideon Knight of the United Kingdom, is the winner of the Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year award for 2016.

Knight lives near Valentines Park in London and he visits regularly in order to take photographs.

One winter evening the perfect tableau presented itself: a rising full moon set in the blue light of dusk formed the perfect backdrop for the spindly twigs of a sycamore tree upon which rested a solitary crow.

The various components of the scene “made it feel almost supernatural, like something out of a fairy tale,” said Gideon.
